📄 What This Document Is

This is a 6-K filing, which is like a "current event" update that international companies send to the U.S. SEC. CMB.TECH is using it to announce two important things: they've published their detailed annual financial report, and they're inviting shareholders to their yearly meetings. It's not the report itself, but the official notice that it's available and the meeting details are set.

👉 Why it matters: This is the official channel for telling U.S. investors, "Our full 2025 financial story is ready for you to read, and here's when we're gathering to talk about it."

🚢 What The Company Does

In simple terms, CMB.TECH is a giant shipping company with a modern twist. They own a massive, diverse fleet of about 250 ships that transport everything from dry goods and oil to chemicals and containers. But they're also investing heavily in the future by offering cleaner fuels like hydrogen and ammonia to their customers.

👉 Why it matters: They're not just a traditional maritime company; they're positioning themselves as a leader in the energy transition for one of the world's most carbon-intensive industries.

💰 Where To Find The Financials

This press release doesn't contain the actual numbers—that's the point. The audited financial results for the year ended December 31, 2025, are now published in two key places:

• The Belgian Annual Report: On their website under "Investors."
• The U.S. Form 20-F: Submitted to the SEC on April 20, 2026, and available on their site under "SEC Filings."

👉 Why it matters: For investors, the 20-F is the gold-standard document. It contains the comprehensive financials, risk factors, and business details you need for deep analysis.

👥 Shareholder Meetings Announced

CMB.TECH is holding two important meetings back-to-back on Thursday, 21 May 2026, at 10:30 a.m. CET in Antwerp, Belgium.

1. Annual General Meeting (AGM): The routine yearly meeting to approve accounts, appoint auditors, and vote on directors.
2. Special General Meeting (SGM): Called for specific, often significant, corporate actions (the exact agenda is in the official notice on their site).

👉 Why it matters: This is when shareholders exercise their voting rights. The "Special" meeting suggests there may be an important proposal beyond the usual annual business.

⚠️ Key Date & "Freeze Period" Alert

There is a critical record date of Thursday, 7 May 2026. To determine who can vote, the company will "freeze" share transfers between the Belgian and U.S. registers. You cannot move shares during the "Freeze Period" from 6 May at 8:00 a.m. (Belgian time) to 8 May at 8:00 a.m. (Belgian time).

👉 Why it matters: If you own shares and plan to vote, you need to be aware of this freeze. Moving your shares during this window could disqualify you from voting at the meetings.

🔮 What's Next On The Calendar

Following this administrative update, CMB.TECH will shift focus to its operational results. They have already scheduled the announcement of their First Quarter 2026 results for 19 May 2026, which will come just two days after their shareholder meetings.

🧠 The Analogy

Think of this filing like a university publishing its annual academic report and simultaneously sending out graduation ceremony invites. The press release is the announcement telling everyone where to find the detailed grade transcripts (the 20-F) and reminding students (shareholders) of the ceremony date and rules for who gets to vote on class awards.

🧩 Final Takeaway

CMB.TECH has completed its 2025 financial reporting and is now in "shareholder season." The key actions are to review the newly available annual report (the 20-F) and, if you're a shareholder, note the 21 May meeting date and be mindful of the early May "freeze period" for share transfers.
